Quote of the day: Glenn De Baeremaeker on the horror of building subway stations on Eglinton

“Some of us might hit a traffic jam along Eglinton somewhere because we’re building three subway stations at once. The horror. The horror. Three subway stations being built at one time, and it might cause a little bit of inconvenience on your drive along Eglinton… Where we have our beautiful Sheppard Avenue in the suburbs there won’t be any delays because the roads are so wide that we’ll still be able to play tennis on them while they’re doing the construction on our LRT system.”

Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker, a TTC commissioner, speaking in favour of Metrolinx’s “aggressive” schedule to build the Eglinton LRT line by 2020.
